Storing food
Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage.
Ensure that the food is of the freshest possible quality to maximize the shelf life of perishable foods.
The following is a general guide to help promote longer food storage.
Fruit / Vegetables
Fruit and vegetables should be loosely enclosed in a
plastic material e.g. wrap, bags (do not seal) and placed
in the fruit and vegetable crisper to minimise moisture
loss.
Dairy Products & Eggs
• Most dairy products have their best-before date on
the outer packaging which informs the recommended
temperature and shelf life of the foods.
• Eggs should be stored in the Egg tray.
Meats / Fish / Poultry
• Place on a plate or a dish and cover with paper or
plastic wrap.
• For larger cuts of meat, sh, or poultry, place to the rear
of the shelves.
• Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in
an airtight container.
For best freezing
• Quality of foods should be fresh.
• Freeze small quantities of food at a time in order to
freeze them quickly.
• Food should be properly sealed or covered tightly.
• Place foods in the freezer evenly.
• Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of frozen
food.
Advice for preventing dew or frost
inside the refrigerator
• Keep the door securely closed. If the food falls down,
it may cause a gap between the cabinet and the door.
Move it back to the shelf or the pocket.
• Food with high-moisture should be stored in airtight
container or sealed tightly.
Note
• Evenly place the food on the shelves to allow the cooling
air to circulate efciently.
• Hot foods should be cooled before storing. Storing hot
foods increases the temperature in the unit and the risk
of food spoilage.
• Do not block the outlet and inlet of the cool air circulating
circuit with foods or containers; otherwise the food will
not be evenly cooled throughout the
refrigerator.
IN
OUT
Do not place food directly in front of cold air outlet.
This may lead to the food freezing.
Tips for saving energy
■ Keep the ventilation space as much as
possible around the refrigerator.
■ Keep your refrigerator out of direct sunlight,
and do not place it next to heat generating
appliance.
■ Avoid opening the door as much as possible.
■ Hot foods should be cooled before storing.
■ Place the food evenly on the shelves to allow
the cool air to circulate efciently.

condition.
• The amount of power consumption
of this model is measured with these
accessories taken out as indicated in
the shaded area.
• The amount of power
consumption of this model
is measured under the
space dimensions on the
right picture.

Care and cleaning
Important
To prevent cracks on the inside surfaces and plastic
components, follow these tips.
• Wipe out food oil adhered to plastic parts.
• Some household chemicals may cause damage, so use
only diluted washing-up liquid (soapy water).
• If undiluted detergent is used or soapy water is not
wiped off thoroughly, it may result in cracks of plastic
parts.
• Wipe any spills from the refrigerator immediately as acid
or alkaline in the food can cause cracking and staining
of plastic parts.
Cleaning
■ Remove the accessories (e.g. shelves) from the cabinet
and the door. Wash them with warm soapy dishwashing
water. After that, rinse them in clean water and dry.
(Only fruit and vegetable shelf is not removable.)
■ Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy
dishwashing water. Then, use cold water to wipe off
soapy water thoroughly.
■ Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth each time it gets
dirty.
■ Clean the Magnetic door seal with a toothbrush and
warm soapy dishwashing water.
■ Wipe the control panel with a dry cloth.
Note
• Do not use hot water, household cleaning powders,
creams or spray-on cleaning products, or any other
cleaning products such as mineral turpentine,
methylated spirits, thinners, petrol etc. These may
damage your refrigerator and may void any warranty.
• If the power supply is disconnected, please wait at least
5 minutes before re-connecting power.
• The glass shelves weigh approximately 3 kg each. Hold
them rmly when removing from the cabinet and carry.
• Do not drop objects inside the refrigerator or strike the
inner wall. This may cause cracks to the inner surface.
Before transporting
Wipe up water in the evaporating pan. Before wiping
up the water, wait more than 1 hour after pulling out the
power plug because refrigeration cycle equipment is
extremely hot.
(The evaporating pan is located on the rear of the
product.)
Evaporating pan
Switching off your refrigerator
If the refrigerator needs to be switched off for an extended
period, the following steps should be taken to reduce the
growth of mould:
1. Remove all food.
2. Remove the power plug from the power point.
3. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
4. Ensure that all the doors are wedged open slightly for
air circulation.
Defrosting
Defrosting is automatically operated by a unique energy
saving system.
When the compartment light is blown
Contact the service agent approved by SHARP to replace
the light. The light is not to be replaced other than by
qualied service personnel.

Before you call for service
Before calling for service, check the following points.
Problem Solution
The outside of the cabinet is
hot when touching.
When there is refrigerator
noise.
Frost or dew appears inside
or outside the refrigerator.
The foods in the refrigerator
compartment freeze.
Odours in the compartment. • Wrapping is required for the foods with strong odours.
It is normal. The hot pipe is in the cabinet in order to prevent dew generation.
It is normal for the refrigerator to make the following sounds.
• Loud noise is made by the compressor when its operation starts
-- Sound becomes quieter after a while.
• The compressor makes loud noise once a day.
-- Operating sound is made immediately after automatic defrost operation.
• Sound of owing uid (gurgling sound, zzing sound)
-- Sound of refrigerant owing in pipes (sound may become louder from time to time).
• Cracking or crunching sound, squeaking sound
-- Sound produced by expansion and contraction of inner walls and internal parts during
cooling.
This may occur in one of the following cases. Use a wet cloth for wiping frost and a dry
cloth for wiping dew.
• When the ambient humidity is high.
• When the door is frequently opened and closed.
• When foods containing plenty of moisture are stored. (Wrapping is required.)
• Is the refrigerator operated for a long time with refrigerator temperature control set at
0°C?
-- Change the temperature control back to around 3°C.
• Is the refrigerator operated for a long time with freezer temperature control set at -21°C?
-- Change the temperature control back to around -18°C.
• If ambient temperature is low, foods may freeze even if the refrigerator compartment is
set at 6°C.
• Deodorising unit cannot remove all odours.
